J.M.W. Turner – Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth

Description

Snow Storm, or Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth,  is a painting by English artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) from 1842. Though panned by many contemporary critics, critic John Ruskin commented in 1843 that it was “one of the very grandest statements of sea-motion, mist and light, that has ever been put on canvas”.  The painting was also shown in “My Policeman”, a movie directed by Michael Grandage starring David Dawson, Emma Corrin and Harry Styles.
